Bret, of course. How is this even a question? It's right there in the the picture, case closed.

I wonder if they ever hooked up.

And yeah, BEE by a long shot. He's actually written more than one decent novel. End of story.

BEE is a better writer, a shame because Palahniuck started with a lot of promise but each novel got worse and worse. Sine Rant he hasn't even tried.
On the other hand Pala is way hotter.

Definitely BEE, Palahniuk is such a fucking faggot holy shit.
I mean BEE is also a fucking faggot but he's at least fun.

BEE is certified quality

Palahniuk is middling fare, worth a read and a passing shrug but that's it

>> No.6345693

Thank god the BEE fans appear. He's great. lit only dislikes him because they're jelly that they don't have success in his subject area

>> No.6345713

>>6345693
Actually speaking of BEE, I always wondered how "understandable" he is to most people, seems like the people he writes about are a rather small percentage of the general population and most of the things they deal with aren't experienced - for the better or worse - by the majority of people.

BEE kind of got fat. But look at the fetching earnestness of his early author photo. You want to chuck him under the chin.

/lit/ hates both of them but it's pretty clear that BEE is the better writer
Palahniuk is just pure trash

If you talk about elittes in a way dumb commoners can understand they'll love you, you're making them think they're smart and understand shit.

But P is one of those guys that get hotter the older they get. That's a great plus.

No, I mean, is it possible or even useful in a meaningful way for "common" people to relate to Ellis' characters, or understand them?

>> No.6345809

Palahniuk

Anything but minimalism is pure trash
